20 Free Handwritten Fonts

Hello, my name is Amanda, and I’m a font addict.

As of this writing, I have over 1,000 fonts installed on my computer. There are probably quite a few that I’ve never even used, but just like to have. Because fonts are awesome. Finding the right one – with the right shapes and attitude, to use as-is or build off of – can be the aha moment of a project. And I want to share some of that bounty with you. I’m going to do a few font round-ups over the next few weeks, highlighting my favorites in certain styles. Today I’m going to cover fonts with a handwritten look. Sometimes the friendly, personal feeling of a font that looks like handwriting can be the perfect touch on your piece. There’s still a lot of range even within the ‘handwritten’ look – from light and swirly, to bold scrawls. It should be noted, though, that these are meant as headline/feature fonts, not for large bodies of text.

The best part? All twenty of the fonts below are free to download and use. Check out the previews and download links below:
